• Appreciation: You love to connect with your co-workers and have a laugh with them while getting the work accomplished at the same time. Knowing when to pause for some personal connection yet put your nose to the grindstone is a strength of yours. You thrive on appreciation but do not need it constantly to succeed. Confidence is a strength that allows you to absorb direct feedback and direction, turning it into something constructive.

Corporate world is likely too regimented for you and you like to be part of the decision-making.
